Staff reporter

The Conservatives have strengthened their majority on Warwick District Council after today’s election results.

The Tories gained six seats on their result in 2011 with a majority of 31 of the 46 seats available while Labour gained one for a total of nine seats and the Liberal Democrats lost seven to end up with just two.

Whitnash Residents Association held its three seats in the town with Robert Margrave stepping in for Bernard Kirton to win his seat for the association.

The council now has its first Green Party councillor as Ian Davison won a seat in the Brunswick Ward with 1,264 votes.
